What's the alternative? In Angular, the whole problem would've been solved with their template engine + built-in forms module. But Angular has a huge API surface.
With React, you have your template engine. Form state can be managed with a third-party library, like final form. It's no broader of an API Surface than Angular would be.
So the question is, when were these things ever "beginner friendly"? Were forms easier 5, 10 years ago than they are to implement today?

Things have grown and evolved in such a way that user interfaces can provide much better experiences than they use to be able to and as the capabilities have grown, so have the expectations. Along with it the barrier to entry has gone up.
